Silke Pfersdorf

What is good design, exactly ? This is a controversial question that designen and manufacturers grapple with, as do buyers and critics, and it is often only answered in retrospect. The accomplished author Silke PfersdorP presents 101 classics that are either absolutely adored or legendary failures, or both. In entertaining passages, she recounts how each design came about, which pieces and which minds influenced one another, and shares unknown anecdotes about each creation.
In doing so, she covers the period from 1920 until today, shedding also light on the classics of the new millennium for the first time.
